DIVISIONAL COUNCILS

College Council Gives $4K To BBA

By ChrisTina yan News Editor

College Council (CC) will transfer about $4,000 of its funds to various clubs chartered under BBA Council by the end of the week, according to BBA Council President Jay Krishnaswamy (16Ox, 19B).

It is unclear how CC approved the transfer. Krishnaswamy said he had “no idea” how it was approved, and CC President Radhika Kadakia (20C) and Vice President Hemal Prasad (19C) declined interviews to discuss the transfer. There is no mention of transfers between undergraduate divisions in the Student Government Association (SGA) Finance Code.

The CC legislature did not discuss or vote on the transfer in any of its public meetings since the Wheel reported on Sept. 5 that the two governing bodies were negotiating a dollar amount to be transfered.

CC will be named as a co-host for some events organized by BBA clubs because of the transfer, Krishnaswamy said. The events that the CC money will go toward have historically recorded higher rates of College student participation, according to Krishnaswamy.

Kemp Leads Abrams in Tight Race

By Madison BoBer Multimedia Editor The nail-biting race between Republican Brian Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams was too close to call early Wednesday, according to NBC News.

Though trailing by 2.5 percent with 100 percent of precincts reporting,

Abrams refused to concede the race.

Abrams campaign manager Lauren Groh-Wargo said provisional and absentee ballots still remained to be counted.

“I promise you tonight, we’re going to make sure every single vote is counted. Every single vote,” Abrams said, alluding to voter suppression efforts.

She added that she expects the race to

GLOBAL CONNECCTION

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

College Council VPs Resign Emory Maintains Ties By alBerT ZhanG Contributing Writer

College Council (CC), which has struggled with retention and attracting students to run for office, is seeking applications after three members resigned last month.

The governing body is also planning to hold standards hearings for some members who allegedly failed to perform their duties.

Former CC Vice Presidents of Student Affairs Muhammad Naveed (17Ox, 19C) and Leslie Mora (20C) and CC Junior Legislator Namit Sanghi (18Ox, 20C) quit, according to CC Vice President Hemal Prasad (19C).

Naveed, who formerly served on Student Government Association (SGA) as Oxford continuee representative, said he left CC to focus on schoolwork and finding a job. “[U]ltimately the rigors of the position were something that I could not handle personally,” Naveed wrote in a Nov. 2 email to the Wheel. “I had to leave the position to focus on my academics and job recruitment to ensure that my life after college was secured.”

Sanghi and Mora did not respond to requests for comment.

Sanghi resigned the week of Oct. 21 while Naveed and Mora resigned the week of Oct. 14, according to Prasad.

He said that the three students had left by “no fault of their own, but a result of their own personal circumstances.”

CC sent an Oct. 30 email to all College students seeking applications for the vacant positions. Prasad said applications are due on Nov. 9, after which he and CC President Radhika Kadakia (20C) will interview applicants.

Prasad said he hopes to fill the roles before the Nov. 14 CC legislative meeting.

CC co-Chief of Staff Julian Pradeep (19C) said he and other co-Chief of Staff Jacob Hicks (18Ox, 20C) will serve as interim CC vice presidents of student affairs.

Vice presidents of student affairs are responsible for hearing student feedback, holding focus groups and compiling and releasing the annual student concerns report, which “summarizes the initiatives completed and feedback collected throughout the year,” according to the Oct. 30 CC email.

Applicants for vice president of student affairs should be “in touch with the Emory community, in regards to hearing their ... complaints” and applicants for junior legislator should be “self-driven, having cool ideas for changes to make on campus [and] always willing to work on committees,” Prasad said.

CC previously appointed five legislators in September to fill vacant positions. After the most recent departures, six of CC’s 20 legislators will have been appointed by Prasad and Kadakia instead of elected by the student body.

Prasad said he is not worried about the number of elected CC seats that have been filled by appointment.

“It may look like a lot of appointing from the outside, but you also have to remember this is the biggest governing body on this campus,” Prasad said. “Inevitably, there’s going to be [turnover].” sTandards hearinGs Prasad also announced during the Oct. 31 meeting that CC would begin standards hearings on Nov. 6 for underperforming members, including those with attendance issues.

Standards hearings are required for

Bugge Remembered For Warmth, Wit Continued from Page 1 ture and taught courses on Geoffrey Chaucer, Arthurian literature, poetry and the history of English literature, according to Morey.

Bugge retired in Fall 2011 and became a professor emeritus of English and chair of the executive committee of the Emeritus College, serving as its interim director in 2012. Bugge received the Distinguished Emeritus Award in 2013 for his work in fostering community among Emory faculty members.

Cavanagh remembers Bugge as someone who was “always very generous to everybody” and a “dedicated and skilled teacher.” He was wellliked by students and colleagues, twice receiving the Emory Williams Distinguished Teaching Award and a Crystal Apple Award for Teaching Excellence, according to Cavanagh.

Outside the classroom, Bugge biked — Cavanagh said she often spotted him pedaling up the hilly Houston Mill Road — and acted.

Bugge was involved with Theater Emory and performed in some productions with the group, including “The Cherry Orchard” in 2013.

During the British Studies study abroad program in the U.K. that he directed during the summers, Bugge organized faculty and student actors to put on an opening dramatic presentation about Oxford University (England), Cavanagh said.

“His acting skills and ability really

played into why he was such a talented teacher because he could really bring things to life,” Cavanagh said. “He was very enthusiastic about the literature he was teaching and was very engaged with the students.”

Whether he was interacting with students or other professors, Bugge “valued the University” and enjoyed being a member of the Emory community, Emeritus College Director Gray Crouse said.

“He was so invested in being a faculty member at Emory that, as he saw himself retiring at some point, he didn’t want that retirement to mean that he was basically saying goodbye to the University,” Crouse said.

Bugge “gave himself to Emory,” Morey said, adding that Bugge never sought the spotlight, but he was an “ever-present, behind-the-scenes” person who was “essential.”

Morey added that he appreciated Bugge’s mentorship of himself and other junior faculty.

Bugge mastered “terrific pronunciation” of Middle English, and, when he taught, it seemed like he had sprinkled “magic dust” over his classroom, Morey said.

Bugge is survived by his wife Liza Davis (79G) and sons Stefan Bugge (14C) and Eric Eammons. The family has not yet announced memorial plans.

members with more than three absences, according to the CC Constitution.

Prasad said he will lead the hearings, which are currently scheduled for Nov. 9, and explained that the process is necessary because CC does not have its own judicial body.

“Attendance is the primary reason why people are called into hearings,” Prasad said, but also noted that, “[Members] can be called into hearings for a variety of reasons — bad behavior [or] negligence to do your job.”

During the hearings, Prasad will inform members where their performance is lacking, and they can develop a reformative plan or face punishment.

Although Prasad explained that the hearings are meant to be “reformative and not punitive,” he noted that some members had been removed from office in the past.

“We have these hearings as a reality check,” Prasad said. “If we find that they don’t necessarily mesh with [College] Council because of schedule, or they just don’t want to serve anymore, then they are removed.”

Article IV, Section B of the CC Constitution states that “any individual may be removed from office by a two-thirds vote of the Legislature, a two-thirds vote of the Executive Board or directly by the discretion of the President.”

According to the CC Constitution, members can be removed for “inattention to duties, violation of the attendance policy … or failure to act in the best interest of the College and/or the College Council.”

Prasad declined the Wheel’s request for access to the hearings but said he would be willing to provide a list of any members who are removed.

With Saudi Arabia

By isaiah PoriTZ Contributing Writer Emory University is not changing partnerships with Saudi Arabian entities in light of recent allegations that the kingdom was involved in the killing of journalist and Saudi critic Jamal Khashoggi last month, according to Associate Vice President of University Communications Nancy Seideman.

Emory partners with five academic institutions backed by the Saudi government.

“Currently there are no proposed changes to these programs, but we will continue to evaluate this situation,” Seideman wrote in a Nov. 6 email to the Wheel.

The partnerships support sponsorships for Saudi students to attend Rollins School of Public Health, the School of Medicine and the College.

Emory received more than $16 million from the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission (SACM) and the Medical College of Jazan University between 2011 and 2014, according to the 2017 U.S. Foreign Gift and Contract Report. The report is compiled by the Department of Education and requires any institution of higher education receiving federal financial aid funds to disclose some gifts or contracts from foreign sources.

Seideman said Rollins contracts with the King Abdullah Fellowship Program, which grants two-year scholarship programs from the SACM for Saudi students to earn their Master of Public Health degrees at Rollins.

Thirty-seven universities and colleges in the U.S. have received $354 million from Saudi Arabia between 2011 and 2017, according to The

Associated Press (AP). A majority of the money was used for academic and scholarship programs, but at least $62 million came to the U.S. through contracts with the kingdom’s nationally owned companies, AP reported.

The Turkish government said Khashoggi, a prominent Saudi journalist and critic of the kingdom’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was killed in a pre-planned attack by Saudi nationals while Khashoggi was picking up paperwork in the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul, The New York Times reported. After falling out of favor with the Saudi Royal Family, Khashoggi fled the country and came to the U.S. where he wrote a monthly column for The Washington Post that criticized the kingdom.

In response to the alleged murder, multiple universities have reconsidered their relationship with the kingdom.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology received $4 million from Saudi Arabia’s state-owned petroleum and natural gas company, Saudi Aramco, AP found.

MIT announced in a Oct. 22 letter to its faculty that the school would go through a “thorough reassessment of MIT’s Institute-level engagements with entities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

AP noted that multiple universities receiving funding from Saudi Arabia have not yet altered their ties with the country and many schools have not provided details about the source of their Saudi funding.

COFFEE

Dancing Goats Coffee Bar is owned by Batdorf and Bronson Coffee roasters in Olympia, Wash.

Dancing Goats to Open at Conference Center By isaiah PoriTZ Contributing Writer A Dancing Goats Coffee Bar is set to open at the Emory Conference Center Hotel (ECCH) in December, according to ECCH Director of Sales and Marketing Guido Brun.

Brun said ECCH was looking to open a locally based coffee shop in the lobby for a long time.

“We went to Starbucks — we looked at a number of independent roasters, but we really wanted to stay with something local,” Brun said. “That’s why we ended up with Dancing Goats.

They have a good reputation, and they’re a local roaster.”

Dancing Goats Coffee Bars are an Atlanta-based chain that is owned by Batdorf and Bronson Coffee Roasters

in Olympia, Wash. The company opened its first roastery in Atlanta in 1994.

Brun said the shop’s “unique name” and extended history would provide hotel guests with a local experience.

“We really try to add an experience of the destination for our guests coming into the hotel,” Brun said. “[They have a] unique name ... [and] they have their own story about how they came about which we’ll bring into our marketing efforts.”

The name “Dancing Goats” comes from the legend that says a goat herder discovered coffee when he witnessed his goats dance after consuming coffee beans, according to the coffee chain’s website.

Although the shop will primarily cater to hotel guests, Brun said they

are also targeting customers in the Emory community, noting that some Emory buildings are within walking distance.

“We do want to tap into the Emory market — the walkable market that has good access to the hotel,” Brun said. “[Rollins School of Public Health] also is not too far from our doorstep.”

The hotel has been working to incorporate references to Emory University in the shop’s name, Dooley’s Grounds, Brun said.

One challenge the shop might face is that it will lack a drive-thru and 10-minute parking spaces, Brun added. However, he said that hotel is working to improve accessibility.

On Oct. 25 at 5:29 p.m., Emory Police Department (EPD) received an anonymous report from a campus security authority (CSA) regarding an alleged rape that occurred on the Oxford College campus. The case has not been assigned to an investigator because the CSA reported the incident to EPD for statistical purposes.

On Oct. 27 at 1:53 a.m., EPD responded to 15 Eagle Row, the Sigma Phi Epsilon (SigEp) and Beta Theta Pi fraternity house, in reference to a person down due to alcohol. When the officer arrived, Emory Emergency Medical Services (EEMS) was providing medical attention to a female Emory student. American Medical Response (AMR) responded to the scene shortly after. The female student attended a party at the house, where she consumed alcohol after a male who was serving drinks grabbed her by the wrist and told her that she was a b***h if she did not drink a shot. The female student reported that he poured normal-sized shots of vodka for males and a “very tall shot of vodka” for her. The subject drank the vodka shot and then noticed the same male following her for the remainder of the time that she was at the party. The subject told officers she was afraid that he wanted to take advantage of her while she was intoxicated. AMR transported the subject to Emory University Hospital (EUH).

Campus Life was notified about the incident.

On Oct. 27 at 11:15 a.m., EPD received a theft report. The complainant, an Emory employee, said he realized that he misplaced his wallet on Oct. 26 at 4 p.m. The complainant said he could have lost his wallet while dropping off and picking up items at

the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts earlier that day. Later that day, the complainant received a phone call from his credit card company regarding suspicious activity on his account.

The complainant discovered that someone had used his card to spend about $950 at Target. The complainant told officers he is resolving the incident with his bank, has cancelled his other credit cards and is in the process of disabling his Emory card.

The case has been assigned to an investigator.

On Oct. 28 at 12:44 a.m., an EPD officer patrolling Eagle Row at Peavine Creek Drive noticed an Emory student drinking from a Bud Light can. The subject tried to hide the beer can when the officer approached her. When the officer asked the subject for an ID, she gave him a California driver’s license and said she was 21 years old. The officer confiscated the ID after EPD Dispatch discovered that it was fake.

The officer also threw away the subject’s beer can. The subject eventually provided the officer with her real driver’s license. The officer cited the subject for violation of Atlanta ordinances underage purchase, possession or drinking of alcohol and false representation to a police officer. The subject’s court date is set for Dec. 17.

Campus Life was notified about the incident.

On Oct. 30, EPD responded to the ground floor of Raoul Hall in reference to a theft report. The officer spoke with the complainant, the Raoul Hall complex director and an Emory student. The student said she noticed that food items totaling up to $20 were missing from her dorm between Sept. 11 and Oct. 19. The victim said she is more concerned about “maintaining a feeling of safety” in her room than being reimbursed for

the stolen food. The subject said there were no apparent signs of forced entry and that she shares her room with one roommate, who denied any involvement in this incident. The case has been assigned to an investigator.

On Oct. 31 at 10:01 a.m., EPD responded to the Woodruff Memorial Research Building in reference to a report of card fraud. The complainant, an Emory employee, reported that when she arrived at work on Oct. 23, she found her desk drawer unlocked and a pouch of tuna missing, and she noticed that two Emory credit cards were not where she usually puts them. The complainant said she typically locks her desk drawer before leaving work each evening. On Oct. 24, the Emory employee received an email from JPMorgan Chase Fraud Prevention informing her that her account had been closed after someone tried to make several purchases with one of her Emory credit cards on Nike, Amazon and a daycare center in Louisiana.

The complainant said she destroyed the card and has requested a new one.

She also found a sticky note on her desk with the account number of her other Emory credit card written on it. On Oct. 25 at 12:29 p.m., the complainant discovered fraudulent activity on the second credit card.

Two transactions totaling $4,000 were made on Oct. 25 at a child care center Newnan, Ga., in addition to unspecified charges with Uber, Venmo and Google. The complainant said she leaves the key to her desk drawer in a hiding place on her desk that only a select few employees know about. The case has been assigned to an investigator.

TRANSPARENCY

CC Plans to Meet With General Counsel By alBerT ZhanG Contributing Writer College Council leadership is planning to meet with Emory’s Office of the General Counsel to confirm the legality of a proposal to make certain club funding requests public, according to College Council co-Chief of Staff Jacob Hicks (18Ox, 20C).

The proposal, which Hicks described as “preliminary,” would give individual clubs the option to release their funding requests to the public.

The plan comes after College Council began restricting student access at legislative meetings and redacting club funding bills this semester.

When the Wheel requested a copy of club funding requests approved during College Council’s Sept. 26 meeting, Vice President of Communications Alexander Chanen (21C) said the information is “protected” and emailed a document with all information redacted.

Hicks previously said making funding requests public could put clubs in danger of price manipulation from outside vendors.

College Council Vice President of Budget Hithardhi Duggireddy (20C) said College Council received mixed feedback about releasing financial information during a Nov. 2 budget hearing.

“It was 50-50,” Duggireddy said, noting that some clubs were “indifferent” while other clubs expressed reservations to sharing

their finances.

However, he reiterated that any proposal would not be finalized until after College Council’s meeting with the General Counsel.

Attorneys within the Office of the General Counsel are University employees who “provide legal representation to Emory University and Healthcare,” according to the office’s website.

“We don’t know if [our proposal] has a constitutional basis or not. It’s whatever the General Counsel will advise us to do.”

— Hithardhi Duggireddy (20C), VP of Budget

“We don’t know if [our proposal] has a constitutional basis or not,” Duggireddy said. “It’s whatever the General Counsel will advise us to do, because we don’t know if clubs have the autonomy to do so or if we are the only ones that can do so.”

Student Government Association (SGA) Attorney General Kaia Ordal (17Ox, 19C) wrote in a Nov. 5 email to the Wheel that she met with Duggireddy to develop the proposal.

on Nov. 1, which “agreed that it was a great solution,” Ordal wrote.

After consulting the Office of the General Counsel, College Council leadership plans to draft a more concrete proposal and meet again with the Constitutional Council, Duggireddy said.

At the Nov. 1 Constitutional Council meeting, “the concept was OK’ed, but we’re trying to figure out how do we implement it,” Duggireddy said.

He said College Council leadership would also consult legislators before submitting a final proposal to the legislature in the form of a bill.

“In the end, it’s them who make the decisions on the bills,” Duggireddy said. “We feel it’s only right for them to have a say in all of this.”

Duggireddy hopes to have a final proposal “ready to go” by Nov. 28, but said the timeline could change as the proposal is still only tentative.

“One decision leads to a whole cascade of other things that need to be looked at, which is why we’re taking our time with this,” Duggireddy said.

“We just want to make sure that … everything we do has a constitutional basis.”

Senior Vice President and General Counsel Steve Sencer redirected the Wheel’s request for comment to Associate Vice President of Communications Nancy Seideman, who told the Wheel to “follow up with Jacob Hicks.”

euh MidTown loCks down A patient who was recently discharged triggered a lockdown at Emory Decatur Hospital on Nov. 3, after he called the police and said he would shoot anyone who approached him, according to the Atlanta JournalConstitution (AJC). The patient, who Atlanta police identified as 42-yearold Ivan Boyd, called 911 to make his threat soon after leaving the hospital, the AJC reported.

Police dispatch arrived at the scene at 3:30 p.m. and found Boyd locked in the back of a landscaping truck. Lee Farley, a contractor who was at the scene, convinced Boyd to enter the truck after offering to drive him to get help, according to the police report.

After three hours of communication with Boyd over a loudspeaker, the police got Boyd to surrender at 6:30 p.m. Boyd was never carrying a firearm, according to the police, and it is unknown if he will face criminal charges, the AJC reported. ouTleTs sToP runninG r aCisT ad CNN, NBC, Fox and Facebook have refused to air an ad from President Donald J. Trump’s re-election campaign that has been criticized as racist.

The ad, which was released days before the 2018 midterm elections, links the Democratic party to the caravan of migrants heading to the U.S. and Mexico border and an illegal immigrant convicted of murdering two police officers. Trump said to reporters on Monday that he was unaware of the controversy.

CNN declined to run the ad, calling it “racist.” NBC, Fox and Facebook all allowed the ad to run but later stopped its circulation. NBC released a statement on Monday saying that it would “cease airing [the ad] across our properties as soon as possible” following criticism after the ad appeared during the network’s “Sunday Night Football Segment” on Nov. 4.

Fox News also decided to pull the ad retroactively, stating that it violated the companies advertising policy, according to a Monday statement.

Judiciary Committee found no evidence supporting allegations of sexual assault against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, whose confirmation was embattled by several accusations of sexual assault against him, the Senate Judiciary Committee announced on Nov. 3.

The 414-page investigative report states that investigators did not find any credible evidence to support Christine Blasey Ford’s claim that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when the two were in high school.

The report also finds that witnesses failed to corroborate Ford’s allegations and at times contradicted her claims.

Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick’s allegations of sexual misconduct also lacked sufficient supporting evidence, the report said.

Kavanaugh denied the allegations during an emotional Senate hearing and was confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court on Oct. 6. sCienTisTs reBuke Gender PoliCy More than 1,600 scientists, including eight from Emory, signed a letter condemning President Donald J. Trump’s administration’s consideration of legally defining gender as binary and determined at birth, according to The New York Times.

The letter was written in response to a memo from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services asking federal agencies to define sex as either female or male and resolve gender disputes through genetic testing. The scientists argue that the scientific community is still researching the relationship between biological sex and gender identity: “This proposal is fundamentally inconsistent not only with science, but also with ethical practices, human rights, and basic dignity,” the letter reads. “The relationship between sex chromosomes, genitalia and gender identity is complex and not fully understood.”

The letter also disapproves of the idea that a person’s gender identity can be revealed by a genetic test. In the U.S. alone, 1.4 million adults identify as transgender and 0.05 percent of babies born in the U.S. are intersex and thus do not fit within the gender binary.

Gov. Deal: Hines ‘Brilliant’ Continued from Page 1 Journal.

Harris Hines remained involved with Emory, his alma mater, throughout his professional career, hosting sessions of the court at the Emory School of Law, speaking at professionalism sessions, participating in swearing-in sessions for new lawyers and judging moot court competitions. In 2017, when the law school was celebrating its centennial anniversary, Harris Hines was recognized as one of the “Emory Law 100” graduates who made significant contributions to the law school, broader University or legal practice, according to a Nov. 5 email to Law School staff members sent on behalf of Emory Law School Interim Dean James B. Hughes.

Hughes called Harris Hines “an exceptional person who committed himself to the causes he believed in” in an email statement provided to the Wheel by Emory Law School Director of Communications A. Kenyatta Greer.

Harris Hines lived his life promoting morality and integrity in the people around him, both inside and outside the courtroom, his son said.

“He always preached to me to be kind to others,” Hap Hines said.

— Hap Hines Hap Hines said his father attended every single one of his college football games when he played for the University of Georgia, and that one of his favorite pastimes was visiting baseball parks and attending sporting events with family.

Harris Hines’ colleagues, including Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Harold D. Melton, grieved the loss.

“Former Chief Justice P. Harris Hines was a giant of a man,” Melton said. “Because of the love he so freely extended to others, he was loved and cherished by every member of this Court, by our staff and by just about every person who ever met him.”

In a Nov. 4 tweet, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal expressed sorrow over Hines’ death and said he helped to make Georgia a better state, calling him “a brilliant legal mind and devoted public servant.”

Harris Hines is survived by his wife Helen Hines, Hap Hines, daughter Mary Margaret Doyle and four grandchildren.

The Hines family is still determining the details for his memorial service, according to Hap Hines.

Abrams Hints at Potential Run-Off Continued from Page 1 50,000 voter registration applications on hold. A disproportionate amount of those applications were from African Americans, AP reported. Georgia purged 1.5 million voters between the 2012 and 2016 elections, according to the Brennan Center for Justice.

Kemp has also come under fire for refusing to resign from overseeing the election as Georgia secretary of state despite numerous calls to do so, including from former U.S. President and Emory University Distinguished Professor Jimmy Carter.

On Nov. 4, Kemp launched a last-minute investigation into the Democratic Party of Georgia after his office received reports that the state’s voter registration website was vulnerable, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC). Kemp’s office did not provide any evidence that linked the Democratic Party to the hacking attempt.

Kemp has aligned himself with Trump and adopted similar policy positions to the president, including support for gun rights and tough antiillegal immigration measures and opposition to Medicaid expansion.

His “four-point plan” campaign platform included plans to cut regulations for small businesses, cap state spending and audit tax breaks, promote economic development in rural Georgia and stop the proliferation of sanctuary cities, according to his campaign website.

Abrams’ campaign platform called for the expansion of Medicaid, gun control laws, affordable housing and public education, according to her campaign website.

Abrams, who previously served as minority leader of the Georgia House of Representatives, enjoyed support from prominent public figures, including Oprah Winfrey, actor Will Ferrell and former U.S. President Barack Obama. Other stars such as rapper Common and actor Michael

W

B. Jordan also canvassed for Abrams, going door to door to encourage turnout, according to The Washington Post.

In the most funded election in Georgia ever, both Abrams and Kemp raised more than the $20 million cutoff for contributions before the Nov. 6 election, according to the AJC. On election day, Emory provided free shuttles leaving from Woodruff Circle to five nearby polling stations as part of the “Emory Votes” initiative.

The shuttles ran from 6:45 a.m. to 8 p.m. The shuttles were sponsored by the Office of the Provost, Emory Campus Life, Department of Political Science, Student Government Association (SGA) and Graduate Student Government Association (GSGA), according to an Emory press release.

“Many students, including me, do not have access to a car to drive to polling stations.”

— Hannah Tell (21C) SGA Vice President of Communications Tiffany Haas (19C) said “no student activity fee money was provided for the shuttles. …

Additional support may have been given by other offices listed on the flyers such as the Political Science Department.” Senior Director of Communications for Emory Campus Life Tomika DePriest declined to provide how much the shuttles cost and which groups funded them.

Volunteers from student group Young Democrats of Emory, which endorsed Abrams, stood on Cox Bridge on Tuesday to direct students to Woodruff Circle to shuttle to the polls, dispense guides and answer questions from voters.

In the weeks before the election, Young Democrats of Emory hosted canvassing and phone banking events to support Abrams’ campaign. The group brought high-profile figures including singer-songwriter John Legend and U.S. Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) to campus to encourage students to vote in the election. Emory College Republicans, which resumed activity this semester after a year of absence, did not endorse a candidate.

Other student organizations such as Volunteer Emory provided pizza for voters getting on and off the shuttles at Woodruff Circle, while Emory Hillel hosted “Vote Chill and Grill,” which invited students to “celebrate civic engagement” while enjoying barbeque.

Hannah Tell (21C), who utilized the Emory Votes shuttles, said she believed the shuttles would increase voter turnout among Emory community members.

“Many students, including me, do not have access to a car to drive to polling stations,” Tell said. “I think it’s really amazing that Emory is providing this service for free because it incentivizes political involvement and helps increase the number of people who vote on campus.”

Though Rachel Heisler (19C) did not use the shuttles, she took a day flight on Nov. 5 to vote in her home state of Pennsylvania.

“My civic duty as an American citizen is important, and school is also extremely up there with those priorities, but I can always make up my classes and meet with my professors later on,” Heisler said.

“Even though the vote isn’t as close as it is in Georgia, it’s still an important election in my home state, which I love and care about deeply.

Transfer Done Privately Continued from Page 1 Krishnaswamy declined to provide the specific events.

Kadakia and Prasad previously agreed to the transfer earlier this semester, but it was not finalized until an Oct. 19 meeting between Krishnaswamy, SGA BBA Liaison Geoffrey Tseng (19B), CC Adviser Sarah Beth Potter, BBA Council Adviser Danielle Mitchell-Damron, Associate Director of the Office of Student Leadership and Services (SILT) Natasha Hopkins and Associate Director of Student Governance Services (SGS) VonYetta Hunter, according to Krishnaswamy. Prasad and Kadakia did not attend the meeting, Krishnaswamy said.

Prasad said in September that he and Kadakia were hesitant to give money to BBA Council, but they agreed to do so after Krishnaswamy said College students could be excluded from BBA clubs if BBA Council does not receive more funds, Prasad said.

“At first we were hesitant, but then the idea was thrown up in the air that if we didn’t give BBA [Council] money, College students would be excluded from BBA clubs,” Prasad said. “We want to represent the College students as best we can … so that’s why we thought that it would be in everyone’s favor to provide a short term solution.”

The transfer will only cover BBA club events for the remainder of the academic year, but Krishnaswamy said he hopes to find a more sustainable long-term funding option for BBA Council.

“We hope we can find a different method for funding for this — whether that means that SAF changes are coming, or if that means we are able to find a better path forward to do this ... but we’re still examining that,” Krishnaswamy said.

Krishnaswamy previously attempted to amend the student activities fee (SAF) split last Spring with Bill 52sl2, which he co-wrote to increase the amount of of money that the BBA Council would receive from the SAF Fee Split. Krishnaswamy also cosponsored the bill that calls for the club participation audit.

Constitutional Council: Ma Had Power to Dismiss Palmer Continued from Page 1 current governing documents, and keeping in mind that the Constitution supersedes the Code, they determined that Dwight is technically given the authority to remove Ben as according to the Constitution,” Ordal said.

“All non-elected members and officers serve at the pleasure of the President of the SGA,” according to the SGA Constitution.

Ordal called for a meeting with her and the Constitutional Council on Nov. 1 to discuss the constitutionality of Ma’s termination of Palmer. Palmer, Chief Justice Owen Mattocks (20C), Associate Justices Sam Branson (20C), Matthew Ribbel (19C) and Jane Wang (22C) were present at the meeting.

“The Constitutional Council’s decision not to file a case against Dwight does not minimize the

unprofessional and inappropriate manner in which Dwight went about removing Ben,” Ordal said during the SGA meeting. “The Executive Board finds Dwight’s decision greatly reflective of other troubling behaviors he has exhibited and the choices he has made over the course of this semester, and we hope the Executive Board is not irreparably damaged because of the result of Ben’s removal.”

Ordal called the meeting with the intention of informing Constitutional Council of Palmer’s termination and to seek “consultation” on the matter, according to Mattocks.

Mattocks said the meeting was “very informal” and that the Constitutional Council did not come to a formal ruling because no case was presented.

However, the Constitutional Council deemed that appointed

members can be fired by the SGA president.

“It was pretty clear cut,” Mattocks said.

Mattocks said he did not know whether Palmer would bring charges against Ma. “I can’t speak to his intentions,” Mattocks said.

At the SGA meeting on Monday, SGA Speaker of the Legislature and Sophomore Representative Lori Steffel (21C) outlined impeachment procedures, but added that no request had been formally submitted.

According to the Rules and Procedures of SGA, valid reasons for impeachment include gross violation of the SGA Constitution, failure to fulfill the duties of one’s office, study abroad, violation of the Honor Code, abuse of power, or other exceptional misconduct determined

by the Governance Committee or the Constitutional Council.

Ma said he respects the legislature’s powers to impeach. If charges are brought, an impeachment hearing would follow where both the accusing party and the subject of inquiry would present their cases. Once the hearing concludes, a two-thirds majority vote by the Legislature is needed to impeach the president.

SGA Sophomore Representative Zion Kidd (21C) said he believes that Ma did nothing to violate the Constitution.

He also said impeachment is a very serious charge and that it should be given very careful consideration.

Editorial

Club Audit Rushed, Unreliable The Student Government Association (SGA)’s club participation audit is failing because of more than just its excessively short time-frame.

The Editorial Board shares College Council’s (CC) sentiment that one month simply is not enough time to form an accurate picture of undergraduate clubs’ financial needs, especially given the concerns raised by clubs and divisional councils last week.

In their attempt to conduct a hasty audit of club participation, SGA has failed to issue clear guidelines and anticipate challenges in collecting data. Clubs have contacted CC to express confusion about the audit and request extensions, according to CC Freshman Representative and audit chair Chandler Smith (22C). For clubs who fail to submit information, the audit committee plans to extrapolate from available member data from clubs and organizations not gathered during the audit. But altering how the student activities fee (SAF) is distributed among divisional councils should be based on more than mere guesstimates, and it’s unclear what data, if any, is available. Imprecise and incomplete data will fail to provide an accurate picture of current club participation. No legitimate new fee split can hinge upon information inconsistent with current club participation.

Additionally, student groups, especially those with sensitive membership information, have not received adequate accommodations. Some mental health or religious groups cannot or have chosen not to participate in providing membership data, which further undermines the integrity of the SAF audit. According to College Council (CC) VP of Finance, Teresa Wang (20B), the Emory HelpLine, for example, is not willing to disclose its membership, and for some religious groups, using technology on certain days violates rules of their religion.

These clubs are an essential component of the student population that the audit will not adequately represent.

Although the club audit committee has promised adjust to meet these clubs’ needs, the audit deadline is less than one week away. SGA’s disorganization and incoordination in conducting the audit — one CC representative sent to an event to count participation only reported “many people are going” — must be seriously examined and questioned before adjusting the SAF split.

The audit that is supposed to serve student groups and organizations is doing the exact opposite. If this audit is to be the foundation for a fair re-allocation of club funding, SGA needs to extensively revise its data collection methodology and extend the audit’s timeline.

Double Majors, Don’t Despair Leonhardt’s Attack on Double Majoring Misguided Alexandra Grouzis When David Leonhardt wrote about his dissatisfaction with the amount of students choosing to double major in a Oct. 24 New York Times op-ed, he both ignored shifts in the job market that have created new incentives to double major and overlooked the merits of a more holistic education. He compares the educational landscape to a “credential arms race among teenagers,” touting the need to one-up each other academically in order to feel competitive with our peers. He also attempts to devalue double majoring by claiming that it exacerbates a classist inequality.

In a 2013 article in the Columbia University newspaper, The Columbia Spectator, faculty and staff expressed a similar concern, claiming that many students only double major because they feel a second line on their degree makes them look better to future employers and graduate school programs.

Both articles question the motivation of college students when it comes to choosing their academic path and make assumptions about the inequality double majoring creates while ignoring the academic reality of the educational landscape.

One of the Leonhardt’s major arguments is that students are double majoring solely for the appearance of added achievement.

“The number of double majors has soared in recent years mostly because students see it as a way to add one more credential to their resume,” Leonhardt wrote.

Leonhardt is right about one thing — the number of double majors have soared over the years. Roughly 30 to 40 percent of undergraduate students double major, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education.

However, when Leonhardt attributes this increase to competition for credentials, he undermines the ability of a 20-year-old to make important decisions about their time and their future.

Twenty year olds are young adults who have a diverse set of interests and should be trusted to make decisions about their future based on more than a shallow desire to one-up their peers.

Additionally, the job market has substantially changed. In 2013, 62 percent of college graduates were in a job that required a college degree, but only 27 percent were in a job related to their major. For some students, their degree no longer determines the exact field they will pursue.

Having a diverse knowledge base allows one to have general areas of interest, while simultaneously being more flexible in a job market that requires a degree but doesn’t specify what that degree should be. For example, I’m double majoring in political science and media studies. My combination of degrees allows me to work in politics, public relations, communica-

tions, advertising, production, journalism or political communications.

The list goes on. In college, I’m not training for a job; I’m training for a diverse job market with a diverse set of career possibilities. Understanding that difference is integral to understanding college culture.

Leonhardt also claims that double majoring reinforces income inequality, because it gives students an unfair advantage in the job market just because they can afford to enroll in more classes. While well-off students are bound to have more leeway than peers who struggle financially, the disparities may be less dramatic than suggested by Leonhardt’s column.

One reason is that many schools (including Emory) use “plateau tuition,” basing tuition on part-time versus full-time enrollment instead of on credit hours. This change was originally enacted by many schools to encourage better graduation rates, but it has the unintended benefit of allowing students of any income to take more classes without paying more.

Additionally, no matter how many AP or IB credits a student enters college with, most colleges require at least 120 credit hours to graduate, more than enough credits to allow for a double major.

Moreover, both the The New York Times and The Columbia Spectator pieces argue that the time that students aim to “fill up” with a second major would be better spent collecting a liberal arts conglomeration of classes.

Neither article acknowledges, however, that completing a double major can lead to precisely that mixture of classes; many who double major choose to do so across the STEM and humanities divide. Additionally, general education requirements like Emory’s exist as safeguards to ensure graduates have well-rounded and diverse skill sets.

Leonhardt is correct that double majoring ups the competition between undergraduates. Unfortunately, you can’t eliminate competition in college.

In an economy where the cost of rent and tuition is increasing faster than wages and 61 percent of entry-level jobs require three or more years of experience, it’s not double majoring that is making college too competitive — it’s the job market.

And yet, the very generation that seems to be telling us we’re working too hard also tells us that we are entitled and are ill-prepared for the job market. While Leonhardt (who “barely completed one major” at Yale) may be fortunate enough to criticize those who take on more complicated academic trajectories, students are simply following their academic passions. It’s about trying to succeed in an increasing competitive global economy — not about arbitrary competition among peers, as Leonhardt suggests.

Jews Must Back Gun Control Jacob Busch More than 10,000 hate crimes involving a firearm occur each year in the United States, according to Everytown for Gun Safety. On Oct. 27, the Tree of Life Synagogue massacre was added to this list in what is the deadliest anti-Semitic attack on American soil.

Hate, as the numbers from Everytown show, breeds gun violence, especially in a country where one can legally purchase weapons of mass destruction, like the AR-15. In 2015, a white supremacist murdered three people at the Overland Park Jewish Community Center outside of Kansas City. It was only a matter of time before another anti-Semite with a gun killed Jews in this country.

As a Jew and an American, I have always been torn between my religious and national identities. At different times, I have felt the need to stress one’s importance over the other, but I’ve always struggled with which that would be.

After this shooting claimed the lives of 11 innocent people as they worshipped, I have been able to reconcile the differences in my identity and realize that neither can stand above the other. But it seems to me that some Jewish Americans, or American Jews, have been unable to do the same.

The Tree of Life attack was carried out by an anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant racist. He reportedly legally purchased the AR-15 to carry out the shooting, and it has become well-known that he stated his desire to murder Jews upon entering the synagogue. This unusually deadly display of anti-Semitism in America is evil, but it should not come as a surprise; anti-Semitic acts have been rising steadily in the U.S., with 2017 marking an almost 60 percent increase in anti-Jewish incidents in a single year.

We, as American Jews, reaffirmed our religious and ethnic identity by responding as we must to the Tree of Life shooting — an instance in which our small, tight-knit community was directly targeted. By immediately organizing vigils, raising money, posting messages rejecting anti-Semitism and hate of all kinds and planning Shabbat dinners and other gatherings to heal these fresh wounds, we have

demonstrated immense resilience.

This is a quality of our identity that has persisted for millennia.

But, as Jewish Americans, we cannot forget our nationality; gun violence and mass shootings are a uniquely American problem. By ignoring or underplaying the role that lax gun laws and easy access to assault rifles played in this blatant act of hate, we deny another piece of our identity fundamental to our everyday lives.

After we vote, we must continue to march, protest and organize for national unity and gun control. We must continue to stand against the people and groups who embrace hate.

In a synagogue, it is easy to find Jews to target. On the street, or in a high school, or at a music festival, unless you clearly indicate your Judaism, shooters only see Americans.

They see American youth, women and men. They see you as just another person among the 330 million of us, no more or less a target than anyone else. But when they have a motive, and they have a specific minority group gathered in one place that they can target, shooters are able to bring more than just gun violence to the forefront.

We cannot let them drown out the epidemic that is gripping our country. We must aggressively attack, denounce and stand against both hate and gun violence.

I reject the notion that most or all American Jews or Jewish Americans fail to recognize the issue of gun violence in the U.S. I know Jewish teens and adults who are fighting the battle for stricter gun control and for a safer America each and every day. But I cannot comprehend how hate in this country will be rooted out if the role that gun violence plays in perpetuating this hate is not acknowledged.

American Jewry must stand up in favor of gun control because this type of violence is not unique to us. In 2016,

49 people were murdered at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Fla., for their sexual orientation. Prior to that, nine African American worshippers were killed in Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C., because they were black. And just a few days prior to the Pittsburgh massacre, a man sought to shoot people in a predominantly African American church before killing two elderly African Americans outside a Kroger.

Tikkun Olam, the Jewish value that guides us to repair the world, cannot apply only when hate reaches our own houses of worship. Gun violence is a mechanism that enables evil people to perpetrate hate against any and every minority group in our country.

This is not the first or last time we will see hate beget deadly mass shootings.

Whether you choose to identify as a Jewish American or as an American Jew, we, the American Jewish community, have an opportunity to stand firmly against both anti-Semitism and gun violence. We can shape the conversation around these pressing issues in our society, and we can rally with other communities that have been affected by hate and gun violence.

The first place we must take a stand is at the ballot box. Many of our elected leaders, most notably Senate Republicans, have proven unwilling to pass common-sense gun control legislation. Many politicians, including President Trump, have failed to properly address the danger of a rising tide of white nationalist incidents, illuminated by the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in August 2017.

We begin to expel hate by voting these officials out and electing leaders committed to peace, non-violence and acceptance in a country staring down bigotry and xenophobia.

After we vote, we must continue to march, protest and organize for national unity and gun control. We must continue to stand against the people and groups who embrace hate and the deadly weapons that make minority groups vulnerable. It is the only way we can prevent more Tree of Life, Emanuel AME and Pulse tragedies. It is the only way we can truly embrace who we are, as both Jews and Americans.

During Registration, Check Out the Voluntary Core Isaiah Sirois The merit of featuring Western civilization courses in undergraduate curriculums has been widely debated since the late 1980s, and it continues to be debated today.

Students at universities that require these classes have alleged the content to be “too white, too male and too Eurocentric,” while students at schools without such mandatory curricula have argued that they instead afford essential academic context while “promot[ing] values conducive to individual liberty and collective prosperity.”

Amidst these debates over “Great Books” courses, Emory charted an innovative middle ground in 2012: the Voluntary Core Curriculum.

The program’s elective nature gives students the ability to better acquaint themselves with historical texts that inform contemporary debates, without imposing contestable content upon the entire student body.

As Spring course registration

approaches, underclassmen should consider incorporating the program into their schedules.

The Voluntary Core Curriculum offers an interdisciplinary set of classes that allows students to interact with not just the Western literary canon, but also with key texts from physics, sociology and even paleontology.

Courses are specifically designed for freshmen and sophomores to familiarize themselves with a field’s foundations, easing the transition into upper-level undergraduate study.

For instance, my reading of Alexis de Tocqueville’s “Democracy in America,” a text foundational to American history and politics, helped me better comprehend works in later courses that referenced it.

Emory’s Voluntary Core is about more than reading books other people have deemed “great.” The program also forces students to grapple with the implications of their alleged greatness. Canons, or collections of “great” works, are inherently exclusive; there’s a reason professors select the texts they do for each course.

By taking these Core classes,

students gain insight into not just the texts themselves, but the social context behind their purported value.

Some may criticize the curriculum’s focus on the “West” as imperialist, and recent alt-right fetishization of the West builds upon that argument. But abandoning the academic study of the Western project is an overreaction; even French philosopher Jacques Derrida, famed for his role in developing deconstruction, argued that “[he didn’t] start with disorder; [he] start[ed] with the tradition.” While some may point to the West’s racist legacy (and even Derrida’s) as reasons to avoid studying it at all, students can better prepare themselves to challenge structural inequality by learning how and why certain ideas have dominated others in the past.

While Audre Lorde correctly says that “the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house,” the meandering course of institutional change can be best expedited by wellread citizens, and the gaps that enable radical change can be torn open from the inside.

The value of studying the Western

canon isn’t that its texts rest on a pedestal of rationality above diffuse and disorganized “identity studies”; rather, it’s that these texts are still so fundamental in constructing Western identity.

Furthermore, deliberately ignoring the Western tradition only ensures that the worst forms of the West continue; glossing over John Locke’s political theory, foundational to the Constitution, or even skipping the Constitution itself gives hardliners like Justice Brett Kavanaugh the opportunity to manipulate those texts for malevolent legal ends.

Outside the curricular merit of studying the Western canon, the Voluntary Core offers students valuable out-of-class experiences.

Students are required to attend or watch the Emory Williams Lectures, which have recently ranged in subject matter from the U.S. Constitution’s repressive origins to important studies in animal cognition.

The series has recruited professors from across Emory’s diverse departmental offerings as well as from different academic institutions,

giving students broad exposure to interdisciplinary foundations.

Students in the Voluntary Core are also encouraged to apply for the Franklin Fellows program, which offers continued canonical exposure designed for upper-level undergraduates.

On-campus, fellows participate in reading groups and film discussions.

Off-campus, the program provides transportation to and tickets for theatrical and orchestral performances.

The first time I saw a live performance of an original Shakespeare production was through the fellows program, an experience I likely would not have sought out on my own.

Emory’s Voluntary Core Curriculum has greatly enriched my Emory experience, and while I recognize the program certainly isn’t for everyone — it is voluntary, after all — I hope that more students will choose participate in this valuable facet of the College.

Grade:&B For*decades,*Queen*fans*have*been* mesmerized* by* Freddie* Mercury’s* four=octave* voice.* Bryan* Singer’s* film* “Bohemian* Rhapsody”* tributes* the* legacy*of*Queen,*one*of*the*most*influ= ential* rock* bands* of* the* 1970s* and* ‘80s.* More* specifically,* it* chronicles* the* musical* career* of* Freddie* Mercury,* the*wildly*eccentric*lead*singer*of*the* band.* The* film* celebrates* how* the* lead* singer’s* courageous* persona* shaped* the*man*he*was,*as*well*as*the*legend* that*is*Queen.* The* character* of* Freddie* called* for* a* performance* of* the* caliber* of* Rami* Malek* (of* “Mr.* Robot”* fame),* whose* chilling* transformation* reincarnated* the*lead*singer’s*energetic*personality.* Malek* gave* the* role* his* all,* whether* flaunting* his* carelessly* wild* side,* or* his* occasionally* stoic,* melancholy* nature,* embodying* the* tempestuous* life*of*Queen.* In* addition* to* Malek’s* work,* some* memorable*performances*include*that* of* Ben* Hardy* as* Queen’s* drummer* Roger*Taylor,*as*well*as*a*surprisingly* short,*but*scene=stealing*performance* by*Mike*Myers*as*Ray*Foster,*a*music* producer* who* turned* down* Queen* in* their*early*years.

Besides* Malek’s* powerful* trans= formation* into* Mercury,* the* obvi= ous* strong* point* of* the* film* is* its* soundtrack.* The* opening* scene* blasts* off*with*the*iconic*tune*of*“Somebody* to*Love”*that*sets*the*uplifting*tone*of* the*film.* The* movie* uses* Queen’s* music* to* drive*the*story,*not*just*as*background* music.* It* explores* the* beginnings* of* some* greatest* hits,* which* definitely* were*highlights*of*the*film.* The* soundtrack* incorporates* both* Queen’s* original* tracks,* as* well* as* redone*ones*with*Malek’s*voice,*which* is*not*a*hindrance.*Rather,*it*allows*for* emotional* moments* that* put* a* smile* on*my*face.****** Bryan* Singer’s* expertise* behind* the* camera* was* also* clearly* at* play* here.*All*of*the*musical*numbers*were* accompanied* with* sweeping,* beauti=

THEATER EMORY

‘The%Moors’%Impresses%With%Depth BY#CALEN#MACDONALD Contributing*Writer In* the* midst* of* total* darkness,* “The*Moors”*opens*with*a*slow=build= ing* cacophony* of* bird* squawks* and* screeches.* This* eerie* atmosphere,* which* only* grows* as* the* lights* come* on* and* the* characters* seem* to* spon= taneously* appear* onstage,* persists* throughout*Theater*Emory’s*dark*and* daring*play.

Directed*by*Matt*Huff*(97C)*of*the* Theater*Studies*Program,*“The*Moors”* is* one* of* Theater* Emory’s* three* fall* productions.* It* was* performed* on* Oct.* 27* and* 28,* Nov.* 1* and* 2* and* will* be* shown* again*on*Nov.*6*and*7*in*the*Mary*Gray* Munroe*Theater.* The* play* takes* place* on* the* titular* English*moors.*It*concerns*the*lives*of* two* sisters,* their* maid* and* a* dog,* all* of*whom*are*affected*by*the*arrival*of* a*governess*and*a*moor=hen,*a*type*of* bird*native*to*the*area.* The*main*storyline*follows*the*con= flict*between*the*two*sisters*as*Agatha,* the* eldest,* manipulates* Emilie,* the* governess.

Throughout* these* storylines,* “The* Moors”* shines* when* it* relies* on* the* strength*of*its*characters.* The*talented*cast*flawlessly*carries* the* weight* of* these* complex* person= alities.* As* the* cold* and* stern* Agatha,* Rosalind* Sullivan=Lovett* (19C)* excels* at* creating* an* off=putting* demeanor,* which*is*juxtaposed*with*rare*expres= sions* of* her* deep* unhappiness.* The* maid,* who* goes* by* Mallory,* Marjory* and* eventually* Margaret* —* changing* names*and*identities*to*entertain*her= self* on* the* dull* moors* —* is* played* by* Anna* Harrison* (21C)* with* a* deadpan* sarcasm*that*gives*way*to*desperation* and* unbridled* ambition* as* the* play* progresses.

Julia* Byrne* (20C)* plays* Huldey,* Agatha’s*fame=obsessed*younger*sister,* delivering*a*mix*of*humor*and*sorrow* that*expresses*how*desperately*Huldey* craves* attention* and* acceptance.* Her* portrayal* is* a* highlight* of* the* show.* Huldey* entertains* every* moment* that* she*is*onstage,*even*when*relegated*to* the*background.

Haley* Ornstein* (22C)* portrays* Emilie,* a* Jane* Eyre=type* govern= ess* who* travels* to* the* moors* looking* for* love* in* the* sisters’* older* brother,* Branwell.* Ornstein* is* overshadowed* in* the* first*half*of*the*play*by*Sullivan=Lovett* and* Byrne,* but* she* gradually* comes* into* the* spotlight* as* the* layers* of* Emilie’s* character* are* peeled* away.* In* the* final* scene,* she* and* the* maid* adeptly*deliver*a*suspenseful*dialogue* that*characterizes*the*play*as*a*whole,* showing*how*little*life*can*change*even* after*trauma.

‘The*Moors’*is* ostensibly*a*period* piece,*yet*it*deals*with* modern*themes.*Its* characters,*although* dressed*in*corsets*and* Victorian*gowns,*still* feel*contemporary.

A* subplot* concerns* a* budding* romance* between* the* Mastiff* (Jake* Thompson,* 20C),* and* a* Moor=Hen* (Carolyn* Oursler,* 22C),* when* the* lat= ter* crashlands* into* the* family* parlor.* Though* the* Mastiff* and* Moor=Hen* have* little* interaction* with* the* rest* of* the* cast,* their* dynamic* sufficient= ly* supports* their* numerous* shared* scenes.* Thompson* draws* attention* as* he* waxes*poetic*in*several*dramatic*solil= oquies* and,* while* Oursler* has* rela= tively* little* stage* time,* she* makes* the* most*of*it*with*her*eccentric*character= ization*of*the*Moor=Hen.* Oursler* brings* out* the* bird’s* ani= malistic* features* while* keeping* the* character*relatable.

While* the* play* is* not* a* musical,* it* does* feature* several* songs* and* con= temporary* dance* numbers:* Emilie,* Agatha* and* Huldey* each* perform* a* musical*number.* Huldey’s* stands* out* as* a* rock* bal= lad* that* perfectly* suits* her* theatrical*

personality.* Byrne* sells* Huldey’s* number* with* complete* devotion* to* her* character.* However,*the*background*music*tend= ed* to* drown* out* her* vocals,* which* soured* one* of* the* best* moments* of* the*play.

The* short,* abstract* contemporary* dance* numbers* cultivate* a* gothic* mood.* Eerie* lighting* and* music* signify* the* beginning* of* each* number* and* enhance*their*effect.* The*dances*also*transition*between* scenes* as* the* actors* move* on* and* off* stage,* almost* in* a* trance.* These* interjections* don’t* feel* as* necessary* as*the*songs,*but*they*are*entertaining* nonetheless.

Set* in* the* center* of* the* audience,* the* play’s* stage* configuration* further* enhances* its* themes* of* isolation* and* entrapment.* The* staging* is* used* to* great* effect* during* Huldey’s* musical* number,* wherein* she* breaks* the* fourth* wall,* acknowledging* the* audience* as* a* crowd*of*fans,*only*to*sink*back*behind* it*once*her*delusions*pass.* The* confining* setting* becomes* a* recurring* joke* as* Emilie* notices* that* the*same*set*pieces*are*reused*for*dif= ferent*rooms.

“The* Moors”* is* ostensibly* a* period* piece,*yet*it*deals*with*modern*themes.* Its* characters,* although* dressed* in* corsets*and*Victorian*gowns,*still*feel* contemporary* in* their* dialogue* and* mannerisms.* Huldey’s* struggle* for* validation* resonates*with*modern*audiences,*and* Mallory’s* inconsistent* identity* and* sarcastic*humor*make*her*seem*like*a* citizen*of*the*21st*century*rather*than* a*maid*in*the*1840s.

Nothing* is* what* it* seems* in* “The* Moors.”* Its*characters*are*dynamic*and*mul= tifaceted,* bringing* something* new* to* every*scene.* Getting*to*know*these*characters*is* a*worthwhile*experience,*even*as*they* repeatedly* demonstrate* how* little* we* truly*know.

HORROR FILM REVIEW

BY#SARU#GARG Contributing*Writer

Grade:&D The* most* deceptive* film* of* 2018* has* arrived.* At* first* glance,* Luca* Guadagnino’s* “Suspiria”* seems* to* be* a* complex,* spine=chilling* remake* of* Dario* Argento’s* 1977* cult=classic* hor= ror*film.*However,*it*is*neither*of*those* things.* “Suspiria”* delivers* neither* the* scares* nor* the* story* it* advertises* so* heavily.* In* fact,* “Suspiria”* doesn’t* offer*much*of*anything.*Its*abundance* of* half=developed* plotlines* and* reli= ance*on*shock*value*make*for*a*wholly* unpleasant* viewing* that* is* sure* to* leave* viewers* feeling* bewildered* and* betrayed.* “Suspiria”* tells* the* story* of* Susie* Bannion* (Dakota* Johnson),* a* young* Mennonite* from* Ohio* who* moves* to* West* Berlin* in* 1977* after* being* accepted* into* the* prestigious* Markos* Dance* Academy.* She* initially* thrives,* winning* the* lead* role* in* a* dance* and* gaining*the*favor*of*the*choreographer,* Madame*Blanc*(Tilda*Swinton).* However,* as* time* passes,* Susie* begins* to* suspect* that* something* more* sinister* lurks* behind* the* facade* of* the* academyi* the* school* actual= ly* serves* as* a* cover* for* a* coven* of* witches.* Unbeknownst* to* Susie,* the* coven* is* looking* for* a* vessel* for* their* leader,* Mother* Markos* (also* played* by* Swinton),* and* Susie* is* their* first* choice.* In* the* background* of* this* tale* of* supernatural* horror,* several* signifi= cant* historical* events* unfold,* such* as* the* hijacking* of* Lufthansa* Flight* 181*

and* terrorist* attacks* perpetrated* by* the* Red* Army* Faction* (RAF)* in* the* wake* of* World* War* II.* This* attempt* at* historical* parallelism* is* one* of* the* biggest* flaws* of* “Suspiria.”* The* film* beats*viewers*over*the*head*with*con= stant*mentions*of*the*RAF*and*politi= cal*figures*of*the*time,*hinting*at*some* deeper* themes* about* post=war* guilt* and* atrocities,* but* never* fully* fleshes* out*these*ideas.*As*a*result,*instead*of* elevating* the* story,* these* events* bog* it* down.* A* secondary* storyline* about* a* psychologist* (the* only* notable* male* character* of* the* film,* also* portrayed* by* Swinton),* feels* similarly* underde= veloped* and* out=of=place.* Both* these* narratives* feel* wholly* unnecessary,* and* aid* in* making* the* film’s* two* and* a*half*hour*runtime*excruciating*to*sit* through.* The* new* “Suspiria”* is* at* its* best* when* paying* homage* to* the* original.* As* such,* the* film’s* cinematography,* which*utilizes*quick*zooms*and*sudden* pans* and* tilts,* is* one* of* its* strongest* points.* The* melodrama* added* by* these* camera* motions* is* vital* in* injecting* some*levity*into*a*movie*that*otherwise* takes* itself* much* too* seriously.* This* melodrama* is* also* achieved* through* the*film’s*editing,*which*utilizes*just*as* many*dissolves*as*the*1977*film,*to*the* same*campy*effect.* One* of* the* only* effective* depar= tures* in* style* is* Guadagnino’s* deci= sion* regarding* color* —* or* the* lack* thereof*—*to*communicate*a*bleak*and* haunted* mood.* This* muted* scheme* is* well=suited* to* the* film’s* tone,* and* it* provides* a* striking* contrast* to* the* few*moments*where*Guadagnino*uses*

color*in*spades,*such*as*a*particularly* shocking* scene* near* the* end* of* the* film.* In* terms* of* crafting* scares,* “Suspiria”* mainly* relies* on* shock.* No* part* of* the* film* is* deeply* frightening,* though,*scenes*are*simply*unexpected* and*uncomfortable.*Most*of*the*scenes* that* make* this* film* a* “scary”* movie* are*incredibly*gruesome*and*grotesque* sequences* of* gory* body* horror* that* catch*audiences*off=guard.* As*soon*as*audience*members*catch* on* to* this* pattern,* however,* the* film* loses*much*of*its*impact.

It*begins*to*seem*as*if*these*graphic* scenes* were* shot* just* to* get* a* reac= tion,* and* not* to* carry* any* actual* sig= nificance.* More* than* fear,* this* film* breeds* disgust,* and* after* a* certain* point,*disdain.* Dario* Argento’s* “Suspiria”* was* a* perfect*example*of*style*over*substance* done*well.*In*his*remake,*Guadagnino* attempts* to* include* equal* amounts* of* both,* and* successfully* executes* nei= ther.* The* new* “Suspiria”* is* an* exsan= guinated*version*of*its*predecessor,*as* drained*of*color*as*it*is*of*life*and*true* emotion.* The* film’s* self=serious* tone* and* frivolous*storylines*make*it*a*struggle* to* sit* through* for* its* full* run=time,* although* its* nostalgic* camerawork* makes* this* somewhat* more* bearable.* It* seems* to* hint* at* larger* ideas* just* enough* to* trick* audiences* into* think= ing*it’s*an*intelligent*film,*but*don’t*be* fooled:*“Suspiria”*has*absolutely*noth= ing*to*say.

Oct. 9, 1992

By Doug Busk Asst. life Editor From the Archives: Oct. 9, 1992 Granted, student elections are never high on real issues, but i have yet to see elections so devoid of any substance as the freshman Student Government Association (SGA) and College Council elections held several weeks ago.

A good friend of mine once described student elections as the “popularity contests, pure and simple.”

The question soon becomes: in a class, new to both the school and each other, what popularity is there to run on? in the immortal style of Denis leary, star of mTV and Nike ads, “i’ve got two words for these elections: wasted paper.” i live in Turman lunar Colony, so my view may be slightly skewed, but many in the other freshman residence halls agree with me.

Who are these people running to represent us?

Where do they come from?

Does Kinko’s have layaway payment plans for its campaign leaflets? yet, being political, one question returned to haunt me repeatedly.

What the hell do these people stand for, if anything?

Surely, i may be expecting a bit more from SGA and College Council candidates to demand to know what they want to do in office, considering some candidates for the highest office of our nation find that request hard to comply with. yet, i was always under the impression that college elections were big-time.

Useless high school elections could

be popularity-driven because, we, we were in high school.

Now we’re in college and our democracy is supposed to represent what a democracy can be, not a pitiable facsimile of the state it is in America today.

With the sole exception of perhaps one of two admirable Tsongas-like candidates who posted honest plans of what they wanted to achieve in office and why, more importantly, we should vote for them, the campaigns were nearly insulting to our collective intelligence as a class.

The reason so few people vote in America today is the same reason so few freshmen tune an interest in their elections — no one likes the projections of condescending attitudes.

And people wonder and complain about the low turnout rate in SGA and College Council election? if you were appealed to by way of cartoon characters and nifty fonts on neon leaflets littering the campus would you feel privileged to vote?

The reason so few people vote in America today is the same reason so few freshman tune an interest in their elections — no one likes the projections of condescending attitudes. if elections rest on Perot-like one-

liners and childish cheap shots, voting turnout on the national level will continue to decline. if elections continue to revolve around who spends the most at Kinko’s or who comes up with the best copy of a cartoon characters, the student governments will receive less and less respect.

The system has to be reformed for it to gain any credibility. first, none of the voters know the candidates or, much less, what those people stand for.

To accommodate these, there should be a meeting time for students to introduced to the people running for the position.

Although it may not be conceivable or necessary to have a debate between the candidates, there should be some sort of requirement that they present at least one idea of some sort of paper.

Candidates have to give students a reason to vote for them beyond a cute picture and a keen slogan. once candidates have to present some sort of credible list of proposals before the run, only the serious will put in the effort.

By making just this one simple change students can make an honest, well-thought decision as to who they should vote for, and the numbers of candidates will be reduced.

Thus, by hitting two birds with one stone, the system gains some real legitimacy.

Until that point in time when it does, i’ve got two words for Student Government Association and College Council elections: wasted paper. okay pal?

Pictures of various primate species crowd the walls of Charles Howard Candler Professor of Primate Behavior frans B.m. de Waal’s office.

Known for his research on primate behaviors — specifically emotion, empathy and social strategies — de Waal was the first to apply the machiavellian social theory of selfinterest and scheming to primates when he published his 1982 book, “Chimpanzee Politics: Power and Sex Among Apes.”

The primatologist, selected by Time magazine as one of The Worlds’ 100 most influential People Today in 2007, has published hundreds of scientific articles in his field.

At Emory, he has taught classes in the Psychology Department including “Primate Social Psychology” and served as director of the yerkes National Primate research Center’s living links Center. recently, De Waal closed all his yerkes labs and stopped accepting doctorate students as he looks to retire after spending 27 years at Emory University.

De Waal graduated in 1977 from Utrecht University in the Netherlands with a doctorate in biology. from there, he trained as a zoolo-gist and biologist under Utrecht University Professor of Behavioral Biology Jan van Hooff. De Waal later became a distinguished professor at Utrecht.

Having worked at the Wisconsin National Primate research Center at the University of Wisconsinmadison from 1981 until 1991, de Waal said he developed into a “pure scientist,” but the lack of interaction with students in Wisconsin bothered him. in 1991, de Waal accepted a joint position at Emory’s Psychology Department and yerkes.

“Even though i was 100 percent devoted to science, i felt [not working with students] was constraining because i didn’t have a group of young people who had their own interests [and] who i could mentor,” de Waal said.

When de Waal first established his labs at yerkes, he worked with capuchin monkeys and chimpanzees at the field station.

The field station, located in lawrenceville, Ga., is one of two yerkes centers and houses approximately 2,200 primates — a large number that allows primates to form social groups researchers canstudy.

The main center, located on the Emory campus, contains about 1,200 primates and most of yerkes’ biomedical research laboratories.

Now, de Waal works at both locations as director of the yerkes living links Center, which primarily researches similarities between humans and apes.

Though de Waal primarily researches cooperation, economics, selfishness and altruism among primates, when he came to Emory he wanted to study empathy, which had not been previously accepted in the field of primate studies; most people thought human empathy was more evolved than primate empathy.

However, once de Waal began studying empathy, he spent hours observing how primates perceived each other’s emotional states and how those perceptions affected their behavior.

De Waal’s work caused studying empathy among primates to gain traction among researchers.

As de Waal’s studies progressed, he began to collaborate with doctoral students, including Sarah Brosnan (04G), who graduated from Emory with a doctorate in population biology, ecology and evolution to study fairness among primates.

The pair assigned a group of primates to the same task but rewarded some more than others. much like humans, the primates who received fewer rewards became distressed.

Although de Waal has long been recognized for his research on primate cognition and empathy, his research with Brosnan has also become wellknown in primatology, he said.

A quick Google search for “fairness and primates” finds the pair’s study as the first result.

[De Waal] has also connected with his primates — all of whom have personalized names.

The ties run deep: one female primate recognized de Waal by his voice even after they had not seen each other for 20 years.

When Brosnan first pitched the study to her dissertation committee, she said “half the room” was unimpressed and thought a primate would obviously react to unfairness.

The other half of the room seemed certain that less-rewarded primates would not care.

“We walked out of my proposal meeting and they told me to not add it,” Brosnan said. “And frans said to me, ‘Well of course you must run the study.’ And it ended up being one of the more better-known studies i have [conducted].”

Now a professor at Georgia State University (GSU), Brosnan finds herself applying the lessons she learned from de Waal in her own classroom.

“When [my study] came out, he was the one that really pushed me in front of the media … He always reported it as my study, and so i got credit for it,” Brosnan said. “That’s something i also try to do, make sure my students are getting credit for the things that are theirs.”

De Waal cited the Emory Center for mind, Brain and Culture (CmBC) as a source of inspiration throughout his research. founded in 2007, the CmBC is a space for the intersection and interdisciplinary discussions of the fields of neuroscience, biology and psychology. for de Waal, Emory will always remain the place where he discovered the joys of interacting with var-

Frans B.M. de Waal, Charles Howard Candler Professor of Primate Behavior Caroline Silva/Contributing

ious students.

De Waal said he “will miss the most the interaction with people … and my animals.”

Along with forming close relationships with his students, he has also connected with his primates — all of whom have personalized names.

The ties run deep: one female primate recognized de Waal by his voice even after they had not seen each other for 20 years. “of course i know them [the primates], and they know me — they get used to the people working with them,” de Waal said.

Although de Waal said he plans to retire soon, he aims to “write more books … and less technical articles.”

A new book is set to release in the spring called “mama’s last Hug,” which explores animal emotion in comparison to human emotion.

He plans to continue giving international lectures and hopes to stay in contact with his students, many of whom attend his lectures.

Now that de Waal has closed his labs at yerkes, his primates have either been relocated to the San Diego Zoo or given to GSU, where Brosnan will continue her research on them, according to de Waal. De Waal still frequents GSU to visit the primates, Brosnan said.

His work with primates has yet to end, and he is currently involved with Chimp Haven, a sanctuary for chimpanzees who are phased out of research, and the Dutch Zoo federation.

Professor of Psychology Harold Gouzoules, who co-taught with de Waal at the graduate level for 24 years, has long observed de Waal’s dedication to both his students and his studies. “frans has been a world-class scholar … if you combine both scientific prominence and recognition by the public, there is not a person at Emory who is more recognized than frans,” Gouzoules said. “As an ambassador of Emory, as one representing the best of Emory both in terms of teaching and research, frans is just … there’s no comparison.”

De Waal’s courage allowed him to ask provocative questions that eventually led to his most successful research. “frans has boldly gone where few have dared to go,” Gouzoules said.

“He asks questions that were taboo in animal behavior research. for decades it was not something that was accepted — you could not ask the types of questions that frans embarked on.”

As de Waal prepares to leave Emory, he advised students to find a topic that they are seriously passionate about. “you need to discover what it is that gets you going, [because] that’s what you’re gonna be doing with your life,” de Waal said. “you’re going to be successful if you really picked a topic that lights a fire in you.”

CONSTRUCTION

CourteSy of benjamin Perlman

The Emory Student Center (ESC) dining hall (leFt) will contain fresh food stations. The second floor of the ESC north pavilion (r iGht) is lit by floor-to-ceiling windows that reveal an expansive view of McDonough Field and the Atlanta skyline.

Hard-Hat Tour Teases New Student Center

By Whitney ForBiS Staff Writer

By now, students have grown accustomed to the blue fences, detours and construction of the Emory Student Center (ESC), formerly known as the Campus life Center (ClC).

As the building slowly comes to life, Director of the Student Center operations and Events Benjamin Perlman and Senior Project manager for the Holder Construction Company melissa Drew have begun to lead hourlong student tours of the ESC every friday for a behind-the-scenes look.

The time and day of the student tours will change beginning in the Spring 2019 semester, in order to reach as many students as possible.

After signing two waivers and donning safety vests, hardhats and safety glasses, the Wheel toured the ESC on oct. 19.

North Carolina based company Duda Paine Architects designed the building.

Around a dozen specialized companies were subcontracted for the construction of the ESC, Perlman said, with nearly 40 contractors working on the $98.6 million project. “one of the greatest things for me was [to see] how many teams are working together to make sure [the students] have a great experience,” Perlman said.

The ESC has no main entrance — a

design decision resulting from complaints about accessibility issues in the old Dobbs University Center (DUC).

The landscape design also prioritizes accessibility to every entrance.

The ESC is divided into two primary sections: the north and south pavilions. The pavilions are connected, but are in separate stages of construction, with the south pavilion more developed because the construction team did not have to dig as deep underground to set the foundation as they did with the north, according to Perlman.

Drew, who has worked on construction projects for universities nationwide, said the ESC is distinct for its focus on accessibility through multiple entrances and open spaces unobscured by structural columns.

“This has been a hard, challenging project,” Drew said. “But to be in the middle of campus and to feel the excitement makes it all worth it.” the north Pavilion: meetinG and Study SPaCe The north pavilion, which is closer to Eleonore raoul Hall, is undergoing electrical and plumbing work, as well as drywall treatment. The south pavilion, located near Cox Hall, is nearly finished.

Workers are currently painting, installing tile and applying final cosmetic touches to the new dining facil-

ity, which will seat about 800 people.

The tour began in the north pavilion’s multipurpose ballroom. The room was filled with construction, but the skeleton of the space was clear.

The ESC is divided into two primary sections: the north and south pavilions.

The pavilions are connected, but are in separate stages of construction. once completed, the ballroom will be the largest event space on Emory’s campus, Perlman said, with a maximum capacity of 1,600 people. The multipurpose room can be divided into up to six separate meeting spaces via built-in dividers on tracks, which are designed to be soundproof — “except maybe to a heavy metal concert,” Perlman joked.

The multi-purpose space will have assisted listening devices for those who are hearing impaired, Perlman said.

The ESC also features an underground loading dock, which was built to keep delivery trucks and vehicles out of main campus “to preserve the

FARMERS MARKET

Olympus Brews Up Fresh Flavors

By Wendy Zhu Contributing Writer

Non-Gmo, gluten-free, organic, Georgia-grown and plant-based. if you want a kick of sweetness without the calories or the guilt, the newest stand at the Emory farmers market, olympus Greek Teas, has the perfect beverage for you. located across from Doggy Dogg and revolution Doughnuts, the beverage stand sells four flavors of their naturally caffeinated drinks for $3 each: “yia yia’s Sweetie,” “The o.G. (original Greek),” “Blueberry Citrus” and “Strawbee lemonade.” The stand accepts card, cash or Dooley Dollars as payment.

As i walked up to the table, the vendor greeted me warmly and explained each beverage displayed on the wooden stand.

Upon her recommendation, the vendor pulled bottles of “Blueberry

Citrus” and “Strawbee lemonade” from an ice bucket for me.

When i twisted open the bottles, i was delighted to hear a satisfying “pop” as the air escaped.

Still chilled from the ice bath, “Blueberry Citrus” and “Strawbee lemonade” tasted subtle and distinct.

“Blueberry” was slightly more bitter and tangy, while “Strawbee” tasted more like a classic strawberry lemonade.

Both were pleasantly sweet without being sickening, and tasted natural and fresh.

The smooth glass bottles presented the drinks cleanly. Each bottle is covered by a black-and-white label with pops of bold color to illustrate the beverage’s main ingredient. A silver plate proudly showcased the company’s victory at the University of Georgia 2018 flavor of Georgia food and beverage contest.

Every olympus juice shares a common ingredient: Sideritis. According to the company’s website, the Sideritis plant is used in traditional Greek teas and offers several health benefits, including lowered blood pressure,

heart of campus,” Drew said. on the second floor of the North pavilion, Perlman and Drew led the tour through a large common space designed to be a central hub within the ESC. Couches and an information desk will eventually fill the area, Perlman said. outside the glass walls on the second floor, an expansive patio will showcase a view of mcDonough field and downtown Atlanta (though the DUC-ling currently blocks the skyline). The patio will provide the perfect eagle-eye perch to watch concerts on mcDonough field.

A grab-and-go food station will also join the second floor, along with private meeting spaces and a student involvement area.

The student involvement area is designed to provide clubs with spaces to create banners and store supplies. like the rest of the building, the second floor was carefully engineered to maximize storage. in the later stages of construction, the workers will hardscape and add greenery to replace the DUC-ling.

This area could possibly serve as a perfect spot for future Wonderful Wednesdays, according to Perlman.

The design plan also incorporates two new green spaces, referred to as “plazas” by the construction team, with one in front of the Alumni memorial University Center (AmUC) and the other above the ESC loading dock near

raoul Hall.

Grass and landscaping, leveled off to create easy pedestrian access, will cover the loading dock.

The East plaza, in front of the AmUC, leads down the outdoor stairs that separate the two pavilions. the South Pavilion: reCreational SPaCe and dininG on the south pavilion’s second floor, a new Campus life office space will be stocked with video games, foosball tables and another Kaldi’s coffee shop.

The new dining hall will be located on the first floor of the south pavilion and will fit 200 more seats than the DUC-ling.

Though large windows reveal the kitchen, most cooking will occur at individual stations’ Tandoor ovens and flat top grills. Unlike the DUC and DUC-ling, the ESC dining hall will not provide trays, in order to decrease food waste.

Behind the main dining area are two private dining rooms, which Perlman imagines will provide accessible spaces for creative office hours, meetings and cooking classes. operations will fully transition over from the DUC-ling to the ESC after graduation in may 2019.

The original “o.G.” flavor, an unsweetened tea that most strongly showcases the Sideritis plant, consists of just three components: water, sideritis tea and citric acid. The sweetened teas contain a few more natural ingredients, including fruit purees, agave and lemon juice.

6-4, 6-0. Bryant attributed Fatemi’s and Cartledge’s victories to their individual playing styles. “[Fatemi] used her forehand to set up her points to attack her opponents,” Bryant said. “[She] focused on her service patterns. She also stayed steady in pressure situations. [Cartledge played] really disciplined and adjusted her game to make sure to hit her opponents’ weaknesses.”

In doubles, Chang and freshman Christina Watson dominated the competition, beating opponents from Brenau and Wofford 6-0, respectively.

“Our doubles teams have a little more comfort because we spend a lot of time on volleying,” Bryant said. “[The duo] were well-trained on angles.”

Sophomore Sasha Hartje and freshman Lauren Yoon reached the finals of their respective draw with a 6-3 win over a duo from Wofford, before losing to Arkansas State University 6-3 in the final match.

set with sophomore right-side hitter Leah Saunders finishing back-to-back terminations and Martin closing out with one final kill.

The Maroons dominated the first half of the final set, leading the Eagles 15-9. After Emory responded with four straight points from kills by Dzurik and Martin, the Maroons retaliated with four unanswered points, putting them up 20-15. But the Eagles pounced back, tying the set at 23, thanks to kills

by Leimbach and Dzurik and a service ace by senior defensive specialist Becky Breuer. For the remainder of the match, the Maroons fought off elimination, staying alive with two consecutive points to put them at a 28-27 lead. However, they could not capitalize, allowing the Eagles to take a 29-28 lead with an attack error on their side and a termination by Martin.

After more back-and-forth responses on each side, the Eagles finally sealed the championship title with two kills

by Dzurik, closing out the set 33-31.

“Coming into the third set, we knew it was going to be a battle. But we were determined,” junior libero Elyse Thompson said. “We kept pressing and

we were swinging. We put the pressure on them, and they couldn’t respond.”

Emory dominated the match in both hitting percentage and total blocks.

The Eagles concluded the match with a .219 hitting percentage, while the Maroons checked in at a .151 hitting percentage. The Eagles also closed out the match with a decisive 12-1 edge over the Maroons in total blocks. The two teams tied at 67 digs. A trio of double-figure finishers who recorded 14 kills and a .371 combined hitting percentage bolstered the Eagles’ offensive campaign. Dzurik topped all players with an average of 4.65 kills in nine sets, while Martin added a personal season-high of 11 kills. Saunders also contributed 10 total kills. Arles completed 43 assists. On the defensive side, Thompson led all players with 18 digs, while Wilkins followed with seven total blocks on the night.

“Winning [the] conference felt particularly sweet this year, because we have been battle-tested all season and it was really nice seeing our hard work pay off in such a satisfactory way,” Barzdukas said of the team’s win.

“Plus, we have great leadership and a senior class that knows how to get [the job] done.”

The victory was Emory’s sixth league title in the last 10 years and granted the team an automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament.

The Eagles are one of 64 teams competing, and are set to face Meredith College (N.C.) at Berry College (Ga.) in the first round Rome Regional on Nov. 9. As the Eagles head toward the postseason, Barzdukas said the team has some goals to work toward in the coming days.

“We are going to continue to work on blocking, defense, point-scoring opportunities and a myriad of other things that will make us better,” Barzdukas said. “But mostly, we are going to work on playing with grit and a joyful pursuit of winning, while enjoying these last few weeks together.”

Young Joins Ranks of Acclaimed Rookies Continued from Back Page of 17 shooting, including five of seven from three-point range. Fox, the Kings’ point guard and top draft pick out of the University of Kentucky in the 2017 NBA Draft, recorded a monster tripledouble, scoring 31 points, dishing out 15 assists and grabbing 10 rebounds in the win.

The Kings have surprised most of the league this season and are currently the fifth seed in the stacked Western Conference; they are fourth in the league in points per game at 119.8 and boast the fifth-highest defensive rating at 107.8.

The Hawks bounced back on Nov. 3 against the Miami Heat, winning 123-118.

Young had a solid game, scoring 24 points, dishing out a career-high 15 assists and grabbing five rebounds in the win.

The latest game puts him in elite company, as Young becomes one of

four rookies in the past 25 years with a stat line of at least 20/15/5. The other four rookies are reigning Kia Rookie of the Year Ben Simmons, two-time NBA MVP Steph Curry and NBA veteran Ramon Sessions.

The Hawks fell back into the loss column against the Charlotte Hornets on Nov. 6, losing 113-102. Hornets’ star point guard Kemba Walker continued his hot start to the season, recording 29 points and 7 assists.

Young impressed again, posting another double-double with 18 points and 11 assists.

Young currently leads all rookies in assists with 7.9 per game and is second to only Dallas Mavericks’ forward Luka Dončić in points per game with 19.1.

The Hawks will play on Nov. 7 at 7:30 p.m. against the New York Knicks at State Farm Arena.

Team Works Through Double OT in Final Match to Go Undefeated Continued from Back Page was full of praiseworthy play from the defense. None of Rochester’s six shots in the half found their way home.

Gallagher marked a second save for himself before the end of the first 45 minutes.

Rochester entered the second half with continued high energy shown by two shots in the first five minutes of play. The second shot was poised to score until senior midfielder Tyler Santee made a literal “heads-up” play and blocked it with his face. Santee, a regular leader on the defensive end, kept the defensive spirit of the first half

alive for the Eagles.

With 30 minutes left in regulation, Emory sophomore forward Nate Sampson found the team’s first shot of the match. True to the pattern they showed throughout the season, the Eagles accelerated, making the end of the second half their strongest segment of the match.Emory added three shots on goal to the scoreboard before regulation expired. The shots all came from familiar stars on offense: senior forward Moustafa Khattab, junior midfielder Jun Tsuru and junior midfielder Keegan McCombie.

Overall, the Eagles showed vast improvement in the second half, only

being outshot 4-5 as opposed to the 0-6 line from the starting half. In addition, their defense continued to hold out against consistent Rochester aggression.

Despite their gain in momentum near the end of regulation, the Eagles could not continue the pressure into what would end up being two overtime periods. The team did not find another shot for the remainder of the night.

In the end, Emory’s defense knuckled down and resisted push after push from the Yellowjackets to bring the match to a draw.

“Our defense played very well,” Gallagher said. “We got out of a couple

of close call situations, and I was really happy with how our back half and our defensive guys played.”

Gallagher ended the night with an impressive five saves, a positive way to end a difficult season and the key contribution to saving Emory from a loss.

Overall, the season was a tumultuous one for the Eagles. In regional play, the team was unstoppable, finding nine wins, one loss and one tie. But in conference play, they seemed like an entirely different team. The careful, precise and aggressive team that beat Millsaps College (Miss.) and Sewanee: The University of the South (Tenn.)

4-0 gave way to a fatigued and back-

footed team who failed to score against the University of Chicago and Carnegie Mellon University (Pa.), finishing both matches 0-2.

Although they were unable to accomplish their season goal of a tournament appearance, the Eagles managed to pull off a winning record and cement some truly entertaining matches in the records. A draw in their final match may not be as satisfying for fans and players alike, but against a highly ranked team like Rochester, it is hardly a disappointment.

Men’s Season Draws to Close By dAniel huff Contributing Writer

By Anirudh Pidugu Senior Staff Writer The Emory women’s soccer team ended the regular season on a strong note with a 3-1 win over the University of Rochester (N.Y.) on Nov. 3 at Fauver Stadium in Rochester, N.Y. With the victory, the Eagles finish the season with a seven-game undefeated streak as well as five consecutive victories.

The team closed out with an overall season record of 13-4-1 and a conference record of 4-2-1, good for third place in the University Athletic Association (UAA).

The Eagles’ third-place UAA finish is the best by the program since 2013.

Sophomore defender Caroline Moore scored the first goal of the afternoon — and her fifth goal of the year — in the 17th minute.

She tapped the ball into the right post off a cross from senior forward Sophia Dillon.

The Eagles maintained their lead until halftime.

The Emory men’s soccer team finished its season with a draw against the No. 3 University of Rochester (N.Y.) on the road. The final score of 0-0 on Nov. 3 is reflective of the Eagles’ season of mixed highs and lows. The team finishes with an overall record of 9-7-2 and a conference record of 0-61, meaning they will not play in the NCAA tournament.

Saturday’s game started slowly for Emory. The match quickly began to turn against them, as Rochester found a shot on goal only three minutes into play. Sophomore goalkeeper Cole Gallagher was ready on the save, foreshadowing the team’s strong defensive play throughout the match.

The Eagles’ offense struggled throughout the first half. Though Rochester found consistent shots every few minutes, Emory failed to get a play far enough forward to add a shot to the scoreboard. The team would end the half without a single shot.

Emory Enters NCAA, Tops UAA

By AvA villAlBA Contributing Writer In a high-energy match, the No. 11 Emory volleyball team claimed its eighth overall University Athletic Association (UAA) championship with a dramatic 3-0 shutout over the University of Chicago on Nov. 3 at the University of Rochester (N.Y.).

The Eagles recorded a 25-23, 25-20, 33-31 decision over UChicago, boosting their overall season record to 24-6.

Both teams rallied in the intense competition for a combined total of nearly 300 attack attempts and 134 digs.

“We played hard, with and for each other,” senior defensive specialist Mila Barzdukas said after the final match.

In the first set, the Eagles fought hard to maintain their lead. Emory captured the back-and-forth set with a kill by freshman outside hitter Tara Martin, assisted by senior setter Mady Arles.

The Eagles finished the set with a .238 hitting percentage over the UChicago

Maroons’ .186 hitting percentage. In the second set, the Eagles trailed 10-6 before clapping back with an 11-1 run, highlighted by three kills from Martin and two kills each by seniors outside hitter Karissa Dzurik and middle hitter Sydney Leimbach, putting the team up 17-11. The Maroons then brought the score to 20-17 until a pair of attack errors boosted the Eagles’ lead by five.

The Sacramento Kings routed the Atlanta Hawks on Nov. 1 at the newly renovated State Farm Arena in downtown Atlanta. The 146-115 loss brings the Hawks to a season record of 2-6 while the Kings improve to 6-3.

The Kings led the Hawks 69-64 by the end of the first half with high energy on the defensive end, forcing 13 Hawks turnovers and racking up nine steals.

Rookie point guard Trae Young had a team-high of five turnovers in the first half.

The Kings started off strong in the third quarter, outscoring the Hawks 46-23 en route to a 115-87 lead.

Sacramento scored 31 more points in the fourth quarter with most of their starters on the bench.

Hawks Head Coach Lloyd Pierce noted that defense was the Hawks’ main weakness this season.

“We know what we can do,” Pierce said in a postgame interview. “You take our stat sheet out and it looks pretty good. So you know there are things that are there when we play well. We’ve got to figure out how to do it on the defensive end.”

The Kings were unstoppable offensively, scoring several fast break baskets, many of them after one of the

Hawks’ 22 turnovers. Throughout the game, the Kings infiltrated the paint at will, usually converting inside or dishing back out for a three-pointer.

The team finished the game with 38 assists.

The Hawks shot poorly from the three-point line, making only eight of 31 three-point field goal attempts.

They also missed 11 free throws, going 23-34 from the line. Point guard Jeremy Lin led the Hawks in scoring, dropping 23 points in 23 minutes off the bench. Young had 14 points and 10 assists, but made zero threepointers and eight turnovers in only 27 minutes.

Lin acknowledged that the team has often struggled in the third quarter this season and that they frequently find themselves playing behind.

“We just struggled,” Lin said in a postgame interview. “I felt like we ran out of gas or it just didn’t feel like our spirit was there today. ... If you don’t have the spirit [and] if you don’t have the defense, your offense won’t flow as well and you’re not going to get wins in this league.”

The promising young backcourt duo of Buddy Hield and De’Aaron Fox led the Kings’ offense. Hield, a third-year shooting guard out of the University of Oklahoma, scored 27 points on 10
